How to Recover Deleted Screenshots on Android

Screenshots are often deleted in bulk to free up space – and sometimes an important one (a ticket, a receipt, a chat) goes with them.

1. Look in the trash

Open your gallery's Recycle bin or Recently deleted folder, or the Trash in Google Photos. Screenshots are usually kept there for 30 days.

2. Scan the phone with Deeps

1. Open Deeps and choose Photos.
2. Start a Quick scan; if the screenshot is not found, run a Deep scan.
3. Screenshots are usually PNG files – filter by date to find yours faster.
4. Select it and tap Restore.

Did you share it?

If you sent the screenshot in a chat, open that chat: WhatsApp, Telegram and e-mail keep their own copy that you can save again.
